Flores and Komodo 18 -30 Sep

We have experienced so much since we left Perth on 1 August that it is hard to put it all in perspective, Our plans have changed as a result of the experiences we have had, the people we have met and the advice we have received from the people we have met along the way.

Most significantly they have come from a decision to stop travelling and start holidaying:

17 Sep Krako Atoll

19 Sep Tanjung Gedong

20 Sep Wodong

21 Sep Batu Boga West

22 Sep Riung

24 Sep Lingeh Bay

25 Sep Gili Bodo

26 Sep Sebayor Kecil

27 Sep Labuan Bajo

28 Sep Komodo

29 Sep Loh Gebah

....is just too much too quick.

While the scenery has been beautiful it is the smiles, the friendliness and the willingness to share experiences of the people we have met that has impressed us the most.

Definitely too fast. Were you with the rally? or trying to catch up. We were with the rally leaving Darwin July 2016, and we had time for a few days in each official stop with some day sails in between.

It is certainly a trap for young sailors. We have been so busy doing, we (I) have been
too slow in writing our blog. For those
on my Facebook I hope you have enjoyed the photos and videos and snippets of
information. This edition catches us up to date from Wakatobi to Belitung.
After leaving Wanci on Wangi Wangi in Wakatobi ( try saying that
quickly five times J
) we negotiated the tight entrance to the sheltered anchorage at Hoga Island,
still in Wakatobi. After several days of very dark, wet and blowy weather we
abandoned our plans to sail NE to Raja Ampat.
As beautiful as it is, the wet season conditions prevalent in that area
during the SE Monsoon were too depressing a prospect for us.

Before heading back west we were surprised and delighted to receive an
invitation to visit the Bajo Village. This fascinating village on stilts
occupied by the so called Sea Gypsies was humbling and very interesting. We are constantly amazed by the friendliness,
happiness and generosity of the…

Well it has been a long time since our last blog. As you will see, much has happened.

We travelled from Belitung to Nongsa Point through the Riau Islands. There we left Donetes while we visited family in Perth. On our return we sailed to Puteri Harbour to clear in to Malaysia. From there we sailed to Port Dickson on the west coast of Malaysia. From here we travelled by road to see the wonderful sites of Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. At Port Dickson we also enjoyed watching the West Coast Eagles fourth premiership.

Leaving Port Dickson we sailed to Pangkor where we spent a month on the hard stand for some necessary maintenance and repairs.

We then travelled to Langkawi via Penang where we had a great few weeks before returning to Perth for Christmas and other celebrations. On return we travelled north into Thailand and were not disappointed in the magnificent scenery.

We are now back in Perth but will return to Krabi in Thailand next week to commence a ten week sail back to Perth to …
